Target: Nucleoside Diphosphate Kinase
NCBI RefSeq#: NZ_CP009257.1
*Protein ID (NP or XP #) or Wolbachia#:
Organism (including strain): Acinetobacter baumannii (strain SDF)
Etiologic Risk Group (see link below): Group 2
http://www.bacterio.net/-hazard.html#group2

*Disease Information (sort of like the Intro to your Mini Research Write up): Most serious Pseudomonas infections occur in hospitals, in patients with already-weakened immune systems or surgical/burn wounds. If severe, as in the cases of blood infection, pneumonia, and post-surgery infections, this can cause illness and death in patients. They can be spread on the hands of healthcare workers or equipment, especially breathing machines or catheters.

Essentiality of this protein: Alkaline metalloproteinase cleaves the complement C1q and C3, which are involved in complement-mediated phagocytosis, and prevents killing by human neutrophils.
